    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Hiya People!

This is a continuation of the 'Homage to Ernest K Gann's, 'Fate is the Hunter' story'. See here for Part 1:

In this flight we are departing Goose Bay, Labrador for Narsarsuaq, Greenland using dead reckoning and celestial navigation only.

This is based on Chapter IX - Valhalla and, although different in several ways due to the unpredictability of weather, is quite an adventure.

Here is the video:


Hope you enjoy!
 
Very enjoyable, since watching your first video I brought Gann's book. I have now read the whole book it was very enjoyable and made me respect the gentlemen who flew these early airliners. I agree that we can only simulate what they actually accomplished. You did a great job bring forth what could actually happen in those days. Thanks for sharing the video and thanks for turning me towards a very enjoyable book. I would have never read the book without your video and that would have been a shame. Books such as these are not known to alot of people now so every bit of information helps thanks for sharing.
Thanks John
